Application filed January 11, 1930. Serial No. 420,146.

This invention relates to hair wave placers of the type used in hairdressing, to produce waves in the outline of thev hair.

The chief object of the hair wave placer is to enable the user torestore the natural symmetrical and uniform waves to the contour of thehair. This may be accomplished without the aid of a skilled hair dresseras it removes the obstacles ordinarily met by the individual unskilledin the art of hair dressing. Y Y

A further obj ect of this invention is to provide a template that willyieldably adapt itself to fit that portion of the head to which it isapplied and act as a guide against which the hair may be moulded to forma wave or curl.

It is also an object of this invention to provide a retainer to hold thewaves previously formed in place while additional waves are beingformed.

These and other objects and advantages of the invention will be mo-refully set forth in the following description made in connection with theaccompanying drawings, in which like reference characters refer to thesame parts throughout the different views, and in which,

Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing the hair wave placer used informing the first wave.

Fig. 2 is an end view of the hair wave placer.

Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing the hair wave placer used inmoulding the second wave.

Fig. 4 is a sectional view taken on line 4-4 Fig. 2.

Referring to the drawings the hair wave placer A is shown comprising aspring` member 12 secured to a handle 10 bv rivets 14. The handle 10 canalso be welded to the spring member 12 or the handle 10 formed as partof the spring member 12. A resilient Y rubber tube 16 havingcorrugations 18 lon its outer periphery is forced over the spring member12 and over the lower end of the handle 10 to cover the lap of thespring member 12 and the handle 10. A suitable clip 20 havingprojections22 is placed on the rubber tube 16 holding the same in locked Vofthehead have been treated.

end of the rubber vtube 16 to close thetube i "i and preventthe'accumulation of dust and dirtin the open projecting end of the tube.

After the rubber tube 16 is inserted in the clip 20 the projections 22are forced into the 55 engagement with the clip 20.

When using the hair wave placer A, the hair B is parted at C and thecomb D is used to loosen thehair and locate the first wave. The hairwave placer A is now placed onlthe first wave as shown in Fig. land thevcomb D is used to complete the first wave E. After forming the firstwave E the comb D left in 'place and the hair wave placer A is placed inthe first depression 1F adjacent the comb l).l The comb D is nowwithdrawn and used to formr the next succeeding wave G. This operationis repeated until allparts The method mentioned isvonly` one of the manyways that this hairrwave placer may be used to fashion the hair. c

It illustrates the use of the hair wave placer onthestvle ofhair'waveshown in the draw- 75 ings. lThere are numerous other styles of isetting the hair and the hair wave placer described will be equallvuseful in dressing-,the l Y hair in other forms that differ for thestyle In ordinary `finger waving performed by 8D the individual or by askilled-hair dresser, the finger of one hand is used to hold the hairand the wave is moulded against the finger by a comb held in the otherhand. This is rather inconvenient because if the arm is brought aroundthe backl of the head, the hand will be in a cramped position.

If the arm is in front it obstructsthe view in the mirror and makes thework uncertain. y,9,0 If the fingers are short it is impossible to forma full wave at one time. When the wave is formed by two positions of thefinger itwill be unsymmetrical.

This simple instrument provides a very efficient means to overcome thedifficulties in the art of hair dressing and `is designed for theconvenient use of the individual or the skilled operator in producing asmooth and unvarying wave in the hair.

The hair Wave setter Will lit various sizes of heads due to theformation of the spring which is bent to fit the smaller heads and willyield to fit the larger heads when it is pressed down to hold the hairin place. The rubber tube is provided With corrugations to help preventthe hair from slipping through under the hair Wave placer and the sideWall of the tube acts as a gage against Which the hair is formed.

In view of the foregoing description When considered in conjunction Withthe drawings, it Will at once be apparent that I have produced a highlynovel simple and extremely eflicient hair Wave placer that is Welladapted for all the purposes heretofore designated and can be easily andcheaply constructedof materials readily available.

While the preferred form of my invention has been shown and described itis to be understood that various changes may be made in the details ofconstruction and in the combination of the various parts, Within thescope of the claims, Without departing from the spirit of my invention.

I claim:

l. A hair Wave placer comprising a yieldable hair retaining member andmeans for holding the latter in the desired position.

2. A hair Wave placer comprising a handle, av resilient hair retainerand a flexible tube encasing said hair retaining member. y

3. A hair Wave placer, comprising a handle, a. resilientA memberextending outward from said handle, retaining and gauging means on saidresilient member.

4. A hair Wave Y placer comprising, a formed handle, a spring extendingfrom said handle, a flexible tube encasing said spring and havingcorrugations on its outer periphery and a clip secured to the open endof. said tube.

5. A hair Wave placer comprising a handle, a curved spring extendingfrom said handle, a soft rubber tube encasing said spring and means toseal the open` end of said tube.
